For those who enjoy watching shooting stars, the Geminid meteor showers offer an opportunity this weekend. The visibility, which began on December 4, will reach its peak on Saturday (December 14) - with up to 150 appearances per hour.

The most promising observation period is between 5:00 pm and 6:00 am the following day, as the Vienna Working Group for Astronomy (WAA) announces on their website. Among the meteor showers of the year, "the Perseids in August are the most famous, but the Geminids in December are the most reliable and usually the most beautiful". .
